Evergreen varsity assistant Jesse Orlans, a 2000 EHS graduate, keeps a close eye on the action during practice as part of the Cougars’ two-week team camp on July 23 at Evergreen High School. Orlans coaches the team’s wide receivers.

Jesse Orlans bleeds Evergreen blue and gold. The 2000 EHS graduate spent three years on the football field for the Cougars as a varsity player. He bled, sweated and shed some tears on the field.

He’s also very prideful. So when the 33-year-old returned to Evergreen five years ago to be an assistant coach, not to mention head up the program’s JV and Level III squads, he did so with a chip on his shoulder.
